I guess I'm techincally an old hand, but as I never said why I friended you, figured that I might as well post now.

I think I was Googling "Saiyuki" or some other crazy such thing on a dark, lonely night when I found your manga analysis article on it. I was on LJ, you were a Saiyuki/Minekura-nut who wrote a very interesting article, and the rest, as they say, is history.

And you love Sanzo. 'Nuff said.
